I have a G5 using mac the ripper to rip dvd's, dvd2one to compress & toast to burn. I have just ripped & compress a disc from miami vice season 1, but when playing back on my dvd player there is playback & audio jitter? I have always used Datawrite Yellow Dvd-R discs & never had any problems? Is it to do with the amount of compression as the original dvd disc is around 7gb? Maybe there is copyright protect on the disc? Can anyone help??
are you trying to fit the whole season of vice on your dvd? if so you nare a least putting 20 shows on there and when you compress it down you loose the quality and it looks bad. try to use 2 discs, one with ten shows and ten on the other.
no I am just copying the discs as they are, there is 8 discs in total, I am using one blank disc for each. The original dvd's average 7gb per disc, so I obviously need to compress each down to 4.7gb to fit on a dvd-r disc.
it isn't the size of the original disc, because i have done some that are 8 gb in size and it turned out just fine. What i would do is rip the disc and see what it looks like. if it looks just as it did on the original then compress it. see what it looks like. then get back to me.
p.s. view by using apple dvd player, not vlc or any other.
sounds like a media issue to me. Try different media, and/or burn at a slower speed. Yes I know the SAME media you are using worked in the past, but many companies 'blends' change regularly. And many companies don't even make their own media. They just sub out the manufacturing and change their oem's all the time depending on price.
